RS Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 For those of you who paid the $50 deposit for Toronto FC, you would have received the same email that I did this morning: quote:Dear Rudi, As a Toronto FC member we want you to be the first to hear about some exciting soccer news coming to Toronto.

That dump! That place that wasn't good enough for the MLS or Canda? Well we'll have an idea of what kind of soccer market Toronto is now. Whether it's up to Edmonton's level of 14k.

But don't bring any banners. I heard the csa is allowing a country band from Alabama to set-up and play throug out the game and that the Radio City Rockettes will be there. And I'm betting that the crowd will be pro American with all the Americans living in the 905 area outdrawing the locals in the crowds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Looking forward to this match.... I have a good feeling we get a result. Perhaps CSA will have a PPV webcast again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoyleG Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 quote:Originally posted by Sigma $39 seems a little much for a U20 friendly, but $19 isn't too bad I suppose. Low end in Edmonton was $16 (GA) and went up to about $35. But TO shouldn't have any distractions at the time so they'll really be under the spotlight.

loyola Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I think between 10 and 15K is reasonnable for that game considering that the USA aren't Brazil. I wonder if that game will involve another game against the USA maybe somewhere else in Canada or in the US. Dale Mitchell said that they were looking to play between 15 and 20 games before the WYC start, I'm glad to see that the CSA seemed commited to have a well prepared team for next year. The CSA should broadcast this game on the internet like the Victoria game since a lot of americans fans will be looking to watch that game.

loyola Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I expect at least 10K if the CSA is promoting this game the right way: that mean using Sportsnet and TSN during the World Cup to have commercials about the 2007 WYC and this game against the USA (in that publicity I would say something about Canada beating Brazil a few weeks ago). If I don,t see any publicity about next year U-20's WC during this year WC I will be shock. But if 5-7K show up for the USA game it wouldn't be that bad since the USA aren't a soccer power yet. But I expect more. But let's wait before making negatives comments, we'll have our answer in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess they've got to hire a GM and a coach first. I haven't heard anything about that beyond the fact that they're looking. Then discovery picks? I wonder how long before other clubs start snapping up the unattached players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I think this will be the first time since 1997 that a Canadian mens team will play the US in Canada. Also the first time since 2000 that Toronto gets a Canadian men's game of any kind. Either way you look at it, its long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
